YOGA The Back Pain Cure

80 % of adults in the U.S. will have a back problem at some point in their lives. And as anyone suffering from back pain can attest a backache results in pain, limited activities, and days missed from work which all take their toll physically, financially, and emotionally.

The leading issue with the majority of back care programs is limited treatment options. In addition to being highly addictive, pain medications mask problems, which often leads to additional damage because warning pain is not felt. Physical therapy is limited by what insurance companies deem necessary and the most excessive option, surgery, is very costly and often times ineffective.

Introducing YOGA The Back Pain Cure by Howard Van Es & Dr. Rick Harvey; a highly experienced yoga instructor and chiropractor (respectively) who have been working together for over 7 years. The practices in YOGA The Back Pain Cure have treated thousands of people with back issues and have proven successful 93% of the time.

YOGA The Back Pain Cure features two yoga therapy practices that effectively heal and prevent back pain without medicine, surgery or any other potentially risk inducing factors. It is a safe and cost effective alternative that treats the root of pain.

YOGA The Back PainCure also addresses:
•How to prevent low back problems in the first place
•The different types of low back problems and why they occur
•A first-aid section that shows highly effective natural methods for relieving pain
•Anatomy of the lower back

Yoga therapy can help relieve pain while at the same time improve flexibility and strength. And because yoga is a practice that involves the mind and body, most people find they sleep better, their mood improves, and they enjoy an enhanced sense of well-being.

With the help of YOGA The Back Pain Cure, back ache sufferers can resume activities and lifestyles they enjoy, without drugs or costly treatments, and from the comfort of your home.

Anti-Aging Dentistry: Restoring Youth, One Smile at a Time

Dr Kourosh Maddahi, DDS has been a pioneer in Cosmetic Dentistry for close to 3 decades, and now, with his new guide to the all-new sub-field of Anti-Aging Dentistry, he’s continued the trend. Dr Maddahi reveals in his first book ever; Anti-Aging Dentistry, Restoring Youth, One Smile at a Time, some of the great mysteries associated with aging in the lower 1/3 of the face, not just inside the mouth, but in the lips, cheeks, and jaw. He walks the reader through a step-by-step analysis of these largely misunderstood abnormalities that have been previously regarded as unfixable by medical or cosmetic procedures, and explains how it is expertly placed porcelain veneers and crowns that can rectify them, not injectables and facelifts. These revolutionary procedures have caught fire in the press and medical industries alike, and are now laid out for anyone to understand and gage the value of them, by the leader in the field. This clear, concise manual is just what the doctor ordered in the road to understanding what it is that changes our faces as we age, and how we can prevent or reverse what we’ve been told is inevitable; looking older.

We’re told marketing is hard. That it requires months of analysis, weeks of brainstorming, and years of consistent implementation. To succeed in marketing, you need the fortitude of General Patton, the genius of Don Draper, and the cash reserves of Warren Buffet. WRONG.

One week. That’s all it takes for most small and medium-sized businesses to dramatically improve their marketing. And let’s face it, most business owners do very little marketing, and what they do is not particularly effective.

Business owners often don’t know how to best market their company, or are too busy working to make time to promote it. What they don’t realize is that effective marketing doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming.

Mark Satterfield’s The One-Week Marketing Plan lays out a step-by-step system entrepreneurs can put in place in just five business days. This “set it and forget it” strategy works all day, every day to bring in new business. Tailored to each company’s niche market, this innovative plan can generate a consistent stream of customers for an out-of-pocket expense of as little as $300.
